Quote:A letter sent from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services Thursday orders Louisville's Planned Parenthood facility to cease performing abortions, effective immediately.

The letter says the license application for new facility at 842 South 7th Street is deficient for multiple reasons.

"By this letter, we are informing you that our initial review of the application indicates that it is deficient for multiple reasons," the letter states.


Among other things, the letter criticizes the facility for not having proper written agreements with an acute care hospital and local ambulance service for treatment and transportation of the patient in the event there is a complication with an abortion.

"The agreement with the acute care hospital must be with a hospital capable of treating a patient with unforeseen complications relating to the abortion procedure and the hospital must agree to accept and treat the patient," the letter states.
